Terrible Loss Of Vessels.

The return of vessels lost or missing
at sea furnishes most terrible record.
In the four years from the LIST Of
January. 1880. to the 3lst of December.
1883. l.266 vessels foundered, or were
reported as missing. with = total loss
of 6,661 lives. The record for the
eleven years 1888 shows q loss of
8. l53 ships. and no fewer than 17,157

in loss of life in the vessels reported as

BRAcKErr.-In this city, Feb. 10, 1887, F..
h. Bracket, aged IS years, SmOnths and
% days.
Mr.. Bracket was born in West Brain
tree, VT, was married to Miss Betsey Eta
Philbrick, at Newport, ~ H., Sept. %,
1917. He came west with his family and
effects and settled in River Falls in the
fall of 1854. He had two children, the
youngest, a daughter, died here at the
tender age Of one and one half years, the
eldest, a son, Mr.. F. A. Bracket, is now a
resident of I.ichmond, Va. Mr.. Bracket
was possessed of fine physique and
great physical power, and his sudden
death was consequently source Of great
establishment to his friends and the COM
munity. In the performance of his duty
as City Marshal he was with deputy Bev-
ans placing a refractory prisoI er in the
city Jail, and while Mr.. Beyans was lock-
ing the cell. he heard some little commo-
ton behind him, and on turning to learn
the cause found Mr. Bracket PROSTATE on
the floor breathing his last. He died
without groan or struggle, o. any sign Of
distress, and as there was no post mortem
the real cause of his death is not known,
but is supposed to be either heart disease
or the rupturing of blood vessel in the
brain. The deceased was man Of even
habits and an upright life, which had
made fer him a large circle Of friends, and
it is not known that he had an enemy in
all the wide circle Of his acquaintance.
His was a stanch character, unblemished
by tickleness or dishonOr. His loss will
be mourned by all, and most deeply by
those who knew him best The funeral
was held from the residence Of IL. H.
Blood on Tuesday last, Rev. John Wat
son officiating. There was a large atten-
dance of old friends Of the diseased.

The New Town Of Hager,

In Pierce county. Wisconsin, located
on the c. b. & n. r. X. just across the
river from Red Wing, Mimi, offers a
field to business men seeking good
locations. a large volume of trade
has for long series of years passed
over the river to Red Wing. This
trade should be handled by the people
of Pierce county within their own
boundaries. and the recent completion
Of the G. b. q n. r. r. has put this
result within the reach of Pierce
county business men.
1t is probable that good lime and
brick could be manufactured near by,
and investigation might show good
opportunities for some who are en-
gagged in these branches or business.
Inquiries regarding the town of
Hager should be addressed to st. Paul
Land Company, st. Paul, Mimi. There
is always some one on the ground to
show lots and price list. 4l-3m

THE CREAMERY.
None but Gilt Edged Butter in the Future.

The creamery is a settled fact. The
money for putting up the building is
secured, the building company is
formed, the site is secured near the
Junction Mill, and MIR. IIubbell is put
ting up his stock of ice and making all
necessary arrangements for active
operations in the spring. Now if the
farmers will seed down all their avail
able land and increase their stock of
cows accordingly, there is no visible
reason why there should not be one of
the largest butter enterprises at this
place known in the country.
The company held meeting last
night and chose as directors w. D..
